Reviews

Liberty Civil Defense, .45 ACP, HP, 78 Grain, 20 Rounds is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 12.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tmac from Surprised with low recoil It Did the Job !! Good accuracy in 1911 Colt and Springfield XD’s.

Rated 5 out of 5 by John S from my new EDC round Originally bought this ammo for my Springfield 1911. My EDC is a subcompact (a Smith and Wesson M&P 45 Shield), and not "+P" rated. However, I fired a few rounds through the Shield, and I was very impressed with the ammo's performance.The super-light bullet travels at ridiculous speed (rated at 1900 fps; I have no way of measuring it myself, but I'm sure that is a fairly accurate rating. Even if it isn't quite 1900 fps, it's still more than double the velocity of a standard .45 slug).I also checked out online reviews/videos about this ammo, and they all agree: great stopping power, quick energy "dump" when the bullet hits it's target (minimal over-penetration). Unlike an ordinary JHP, the cavity extends almost the entire length of the bullet. It's not meant to blossom on impact; it's meant to shatter into petals, with a dime-sized cup following behind.Another big plus is that these rounds weigh next-to-nothing. When carrying with a full magazine and one in the chamber, my gun feels much, much lighter.NOTE: I would not fire this ammo, on a regular basis (like range practice) out of a weapon that isn't "+P" rated. With the light slug and high pressure, it would cause premature wear on my smaller gun. But I will definitely carry this stuff as my EDC/personal defense ammo.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bubbamullet from The good stuff This is the round for close quarters self defense. Low recoil and muzzle flash.This ammo is so light there is a noticeable difference in the carry weight.Sometimes need trumps price. This is one of them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by turner76 from 78 grain 1900fps of whoopass First round into a gallon jug of water released its energy on impact and was true stopping power! purchased 100rds!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Stone from Great choice for the home I think every responsible gun owner want to be able to protect his family. I think we also need the right ammo that provide the right stopping power and does not over penetrate, especially if you have others living in the same house or in an apartment situation. From what I have seen this ammo does just that. It shoots and feeds good through all of the 45s I tested it in, doesn't seem to have as much kick as a standard load, clocked in about 50 feet faster than advertised (5" barrel), and will hold as tight of a group as I can with any load. I will be buying more of this for Christmas presents to my friends living in townhouses and with others living in their home. This should be an excellent home defense load. Would I recommend it to a friend? I already have.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mountaineer from Awesome ammo! Devastating power without the heavy recoil, accurate stuff within the range of its primary purpose. I haven't gone beyond 25 feet with it because any further than that from a would-be assailant I hope to run the other way unless they too are armed. Wish it were a lot cheaper so I could practice with it more, but it shoots close enough to the ball ammo to make it work out OK.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Trucker from Super Lite Only gave four stars because I haven't shot it yet, as far as weight compared to hornady huge difference WoW SG had the best price will buy again

Date published: 2016-02-15

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sniper 0323 from Awesome ammo This ammo is the best for self defense only 76 gr but hit like 230 gr I shot it into three large phone books and it shredded the first two and I found the bullet fragments in the third book. Plus the recoil is a lot less
